This paper demonstrates the development of scanning transmission electron microscopy capabilities within a 30 keV scanning electron microscope to characterize the electron beam's lateral coherence, revealing a value exceeding 60% that is sufficient for quantum-coherent electron-light-matter interaction experiments.
This paper develops a theoretical framework that models spectral detection as a cascaded quantum system to systematically quantify the metrological potential of frequency-filtered photonic modes and identify optimal sensing strategies in quantum optics.
This paper establishes antiferroaxial altermagnetism as a universal multiferroic mechanism where symmetry-allowed coupling between antiferroaxial distortions and Néel vectors enables the deterministic switching of altermagnetic spin splitting and associated time-reversal-odd responses, a finding validated by theoretical models, first-principles calculations, and database screening.
This study utilizes a fully quantum Langevin approach to demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of frequency-dependent and complex quadrature squeezing in semiconductor lasers, thereby establishing them as viable platforms for generating non-classical light for quantum communication and sensing applications.
This paper demonstrates that applying parallel electric and magnetic fields to a three-dimensional cubic lattice induces a quantum Hall effect characterized by a 3D Hofstadter butterfly spectrum, quantized transverse conductance, and topological chiral hinge modes protected by bulk Chern numbers.
This paper theoretically investigates photon-assisted tunneling in double quantum dots under AC irradiation using scattering theory, revealing coherent transport through polariton states that exhibit Aharonov-Bohm effects and continuous phase shifts across both main and sideband resonances.
This paper proposes that combining Rashba spin-orbit coupling with electrostatic gate screening enables the tuning and charge-visibility of long-lived spin demons in two-dimensional d-wave altermagnets by converting charge-dark modes into accessible excitations while preserving their dominant spin character.
This paper presents a wide-field nonlinear microscopy technique based on sum-frequency generation that enables the direct, polarization-selective imaging of in-plane vector fields of propagating surface phonon polaritons, overcoming the limitations of traditional near-field methods that primarily detect out-of-plane components.
This paper demonstrates a tunable photonic platform for open quantum systems that reveals how controlled decoherence can actively reshape non-Hermitian skin dynamics, driving a crossover from coherence-enhanced to decoherence-enhanced directional transport.
This paper analyzes the many-body behavior of doped graphene nanoribbons by mapping extended and on-site Hubbard models to a Kanamori model, revealing that specific ribbon parameters can induce open-shell, high-spin states leading to shell- and spin-blockade responses relevant for nanoelectronic transport.
